{outfit} Double Trouble

Lately I have been trying to wear pieces in my wardrobe that haven't seen much of the outside world (either because they are too dressy or I don't have much to go with them). This week it's my Burberry London dress from this Summer. I've only worn it twice (to a Wedding and a Christening) so I decided to style it down for work!  It is very thin so I paired it with tights, booties and my super warm Burberry Brit sweater (previously seen here).  Sometimes I wish I wasn't so much of a shopaholic because I already have plenty of amazing pieces in my closet to wear. But shopping is my social activity, otherwise I'd barely leave my house, so it's okay...right? ;)

Even though I love shopping, I'm going to try to cut down substantially for the next few months and, hopefully, buy nothing new (except accessories if I find good ones.)  I always try to be smart with my purchases but still end up purchasing far more than I need. Ex: I have 17 blazers...and hardly any tops (I'm not a fan of tops, I prefer sweaters)

  1. I'm in the process of doing a bit of a wardrobe overhaul myself -- try to separate the stuff that I wear regularly from the stuff that I don't and fill up any gaps...it's actually sort of a lot of work! And you should definitely wear that dress more often, it's so pretty.

  4. I'm doing a bit of spring cleaning myself, that dress is so pretty and looks so work appropriate the way you've styled it. I love the checkerboard print.

  6. I know, sometimes I feel like if I didn't go shopping, I'd never leave the house.

    Taking some of your fancier items and dressing them down is a good way to go, you wouldn't want them to feel ignored!

  16. OH its so hard to rotate the items that are quite not in par with your wardrobe. This looks good though.
